A heirloom watch with a story
A client inherited this exquisite gold watch encrusted with blue sapphires and diamonds from her beloved grandmother. While the watch was a beautiful reminder of her effortlessly elegant grandmother, the watch remained unworn for years, a cherished heirloom that just was not suitable for modern life.

A transformation that cherishes its history
In consultation with the client, Cassandra removed the gemstones and remounted them into a circular pendant which echoed the watch face. This heirloom transformation enabled our client to keep her memories of her grandmother close to her heart every day.

A legacy reimagined
When two sisters inherited a cherished family brooch from their grandmother, they desired something they could wear every day to honour her memory. Cassandra presented an exquisite solution: transforming segments of the brooch into stunning necklace pendants. These pendants hang gracefully from chains adorned with diamonds from the original brooch, creating a sophisticated and wearable tribute to a beloved grandmother.

An heirloom's renaissance
A recent client showed Cassandra an heirloom diamond brooch, a piece seldom worn due to its antiquated style. With a keen eye for timeless beauty, Cassandra collaborated with the client, meticulously incorporating the brooch’s diamonds into an existing Cassandra Goad design. The result was a breathtaking necklace pendant which seamlessly blends heritage and modernity, ensuring the resulting jewel would be cherished for generations to come.
